La Sportiva Futura

The La Sportiva Futura is a performance climbing shoe from the 'no edge' range, designed to tackle all styles of technical routes and problems.

Built for technical, modern, acrobatic sequences on anything from overhangs to slippery slabs, the La Sportiva Futura offers incredible bite and sensitivity to help you navigate even the most elusive projects. Bringing your feet closer to the rock with the no-edge technology, the shoe offers an all-synthetic upper that does not stretch out, a Fast Lacing System that cinches down quick and easily with a hook and loop closure, and a P3® platform that gives you the downturned power needed for hard boulder problems. The overall feel of the shoe is lightweight, thin and sensitive for high-performance bouldering, sport climbing, technical trad climbing and gym climbing. These are little Ferraris for your feet that give you the ability to feel the texture of the rock climbing surface and stand on the tiniest edges.

No-Edge Technology in Detail

• Sensitivity is improved thanks to the reduced layer of rubber - the No-Edge construction system reduces the distance between the foot and the rock surface, enhancing foot sensitivity on holds.
• Specifically developed to provide "homogenous pressure", whereby the absence of any edges allows the foot to exert an all-round equal push on the inner side of the shoe.
• The No-Edge design maximises the surface area in contact with the foot under all conditions.
